Work highlights
Successfully represented Semantan Estate (1952), in members' voluntary liquidation, against the Government of Malaysia in a long-standing dispute over 263.27 acres of prime land in Kuala Lumpur. The High Court ruled in favour of Semantan Estate, finding that the government had been trespassing on the land since 1957. This case is particularly significant as it establishes novel precedents for enforcing non-monetary judgments against the Government of Malaysia to recover immovable property, marking an important development in Malaysian administrative law.
